Built Environment Image Guide for the National Forests and Grasslands
Welcome to the Built Environment Image Guide. The built environment includes administrative and recreation structures, landscape structures, site furnishings, structures on roads and trails, and signs installed or operated by the Forest Service, its cooperators, and its permittees. The guide intends to improve the image, aesthetics, sustainability, and overall quality of Forest Service facilities consistent with the agency's role as leaders in land stewardship. To achieve this aim, the guide: Describes an approach to designing recreation and administrative facilities that highlights key elements of our agency's national identity and image. Describes a process to 'fit' facilities within the context of their ecological, physical, and cultural settings. Establishes architectural character types for eight provinces, covering national forests and grasslands nationwide. Incorporates the principles of sustainability as an integral part of architectural character. Illustrates the role everyone, from project sponsors, line officers, and designers, to field staff and technicians, plays in creating and maintaining a quality facility.
